Most organizations who are required to comply with GDPR will have a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The requirement to have a DPO applies if you are a public authority, if your regular activities require large-scale and systematic monitoring, or if your core activities consist of large-scale processing of special categories of data.

A DPO is an individual that has expert knowledge of data protection law, is independent from an organizational perspective, cannot be told how to do their job, and cannot be penalized for doing their job. This could be a person who’s also fulfilling other roles within an organization (without a conflict of interest), but it could also be an outside contractor.
